Young men’s daily mobility needs and practices in two low income neighbourhoods of Cape Town: reflections on first mile experiences, using an innovative community peer research methodology (2025)
Journal Article
Porter, G., Rink, B., Maskiti, B., Clark, S., & Barber, C. (in press). Young men’s daily mobility needs and practices in two low income neighbourhoods of Cape Town: reflections on first mile experiences, using an innovative community peer research methodology. African Transport Studies,

Understanding how young men navigate their journeys is important in the context of improving safe mobility for all, especially for those resident in city neighbourhoods with high rates of crime and poverty. Over the past decade, knowledge has been a...

Blessed acts of oblivion on the ethics of forgetting (2025)
Journal Article
Heywood, P. (2025). Blessed acts of oblivion on the ethics of forgetting. Cultural Anthropology, 40(1), 105-130

Such forgetfulness is often imagined as an imposition (as when states deny the... Read More about Blessed acts of oblivion on the ethics of forgetting.

Palaeoenvironments at the Homo erectus type locality of Trinil (Java, Indonesia): the artiodactyl evidence Acknowledgements (2025)
Journal Article
Kovarovic, K., & Gruwier, B. (in press). Palaeoenvironments at the Homo erectus type locality of Trinil (Java, Indonesia): the artiodactyl evidence Acknowledgements. Journal of Human Evolution,

In this study we assess the artiodactyl fossil record of the Homo erectus type locality of Trinil (Indonesia) and explore the paleoenvironmental implications for the site and for our understanding of early hominin paleoecology. Combining ecomorpholog... Read More about Palaeoenvironments at the Homo erectus type locality of Trinil (Java, Indonesia): the artiodactyl evidence Acknowledgements.

As genomics initiatives have spread around the world–often in the name of genetic diversity and inclusion–they have not only invoked promises of a medical revolution, but also revived categories of human difference that resemble erstwhile racial clas...

Health Policy and Planning, Article czaf004. https://doi.org/10.1093/heapol/czaf004

Substandard and falsified (SF) medical products are a serious health and economic concern that disproportionately impact low- and middle-income countries and marginalized groups. Public education campaigns are demand-side interventions that may reduc...

Journal Article
Stibbard-Hawkes, D. N. E. (2025). Hominin cognition: The null hypothesis. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 48, Article e23. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0140525X24001055

The target article explores material culture datasets from three African forager groups. After demonstrating that these modern, contemporary human populations would leave scant evidence of symbolic behaviour or material complexity, it cautioned again...

The relationship between women's everyday lived travel experiences as daily commuters and their employment history and potential has not been adequately researched and documented in African contexts. This multidisciplinary study, utilising an innovat...

Comparative Context of Hard‐Tissue Sexual Dimorphism in Early Hominins: Implications for Alpha Taxonomy (2025)
Journal Article
Balolia, K. L., & Wood, B. (2025). Comparative Context of Hard‐Tissue Sexual Dimorphism in Early Hominins: Implications for Alpha Taxonomy. Evolutionary Anthropology, 34(1), Article e22052. https://doi.org/10.1002/evan.22052

Sexual dimorphism is one of the main factors confounding attempts to generate sound alpha taxonomic hypotheses in the early hominin fossil record. To better understand how between‐sex variation may confound alpha taxonomic assessments, we consider so...
